I have done the seafoam recently. At that mileage I'm not sure I would go with a full sythetic, because I have heard about it causing oil leaks. As for the lucas oil stabilizer I use the fully synthetic one and mobil 1 full synthetic, but they make a version of the stabilizer for regular oil. As for the seafoam, run it through your oil for 100-200 miles and then change it. So in my case I put it in one week before my change cause I only drive like 75-100 miles a week.

Hope this helps,

James

i use valvoline full synthetic, works great. if u dont put seafome in the oil then u dont have to change the oil. i just put it in my pcv valve and it smoked everything up like a charm.
